OK. Actually I wanted to talk about economics with you guys but we can talk about the “no self.”

Autarchy: rule of the self by the self.

OK, but there is no such thing as a self. Scientifically proven: http://www.burningtrue.com/2012/06/liberation-is-personal.html

Actually if you follow the link you can find three distinct scolars from the Western tradition who have exposed it and can tell it to you better than me. (Personally I didn’t follow through with Hume yet only with VS Ramachandran and Thomas Metzinger. They have TED Talks up on YouTube.)

I can give you some links but I don’t want to bore you. As a starter did you do a Google search for “no self?”

OK. Back to the economics topic.

In this short video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6a10UuQFOM) Tom Woods so clearly explains what was my original question. But Anenome did it as well in the thread.

I consider signing up to his Liberty Classroom.

Look, someone claiming there is not self is about as cogent as those who claim reality is not real, who claim that material things are not really solid, saying that wall over there is not real.

Yet all such philosophers exit the room through the door.

One claiming there’s no self is like a man telling you he’s not able to speak. It’s self-refuting.

I take this as you expressing an opinion that “someone claiming there is not self is not cogent”. I guess that depends on the definition of “self”. If you mean that actions of every person are decided by something contained in the 3D volume of his body, then I am not sure what “cogent” proofs do you have. If you mean that actions of every person are decided by something… hmm, I can live with that :slight_smile:
